Resumen: En este estudio estimamos el retorno económico de la educación con una perspectiva territorial. Específicamente, nuestro objetivo es identificar el efecto del capital social de la familia, representado por el idioma de los padres, sobre los retornos económicos de la educación en cada cantón. Para ello se propone un modelo multinivel con intercepto y pendiente aleatoria. Los resultados muestran que la educación proporciona diferentes beneficios a las personas que difieren según sus antecedentes familiares, con una desventaja significativa para los niños cuyos padres hablan un idioma indígena. Observamos que el territorio puede contribuir a estas disparidades hasta en un 7%.

Palabras clave: Capital social, idioma, educación, retornos económicos, territorio.

Abstract: In this study we aim at estimating the economic return to education with a territorial perspective. Furthermore, we aim at identifying the effect of the family’s social capital, proxied by language of parents, on the economic returns to education. Results show that education provides different returns to individuals that differ by their family backgrounds, with a significant disadvantage on children whose parents speak an indigenous language. We observe that the territory can contribute to these disparities by up to 7%.

Keywords: Social capital, language, education, economic returns, territory.
